    I had one sister tell me going to therapy was demonic. All I needed to do was pray more and go out in service and trust in god for my depression. Going to therapy was trusting in man and that was demonic. Totally ADD

    In a community where stupid is the norm it's now hard to think of a standout comment. I've written dozens of examples and deleted as i've thought of an even more clearly stupid belief. I think "if you read this magazine and tell others about it you will never grow old and live forever" was a winner for me.

    My mom once said that "Brother ignoramus thinks Armageddon is really close, and he must be right because he's an elder". I didn't know whether to laugh at how silly that was, or cry because an otherwise intelligent woman believed something so stupid. And this from someone who laughed at Catholics because she thought they believed the pope was infallible.

    When I was 17, My father burned the NIV version of the Bible that a schoolfriend gave me—he was trying to release whatever hold he thought the demons had over me through this item.

    I was told once that the Tears For Fears song "Shout" was satanic because when the "brother" tried to record it from one cassette to another it didn't work.

    Oh, good lord, JeffJ. I've noticed that for some JWs, anything they don't understand is potentially demonized. It's that kind of naked superstition that was part of my awakening to TTATT.
